I am so glad you stopped by to take a peek at my blog! I have had
"stampin' fever" for over 14 years now and have loved every minute of it! It's a wonderfully contagious disease, but beware... once you catch it, there is no cure!

This awesome hop will be show casing products that highlight retiring and already retired products. I am a really pack rat when it comes to keeping my retired stuff! I find it hard to get rid of my ribbons, DSP, EF, and other retired product! So being a part of this hop "forced" me to dig through my retired goodies, and below is what I came up!

For the Birds Card

For my first project, I am using the retiring stamp set, For the Birds. This was a fun card to make and I like the different textures of the card. It's a mix of already retired, soon to be retired and current products. I think that the diversity of the layout allows you to use different background EF, and colors.

I love everything about this set and even though it's retiring, I will always keep it around! For the card below, I stamped the flower image with Early Espresso ink, and the die cut the image/card stock using an Apothecary Accent Die. I then used the Essentials paper piercing template to outline the die cut. The edges were feathers using a sponge and Crumb Cake ink. I then added some pearls and a bow, and did additional paper piercing.

For my last card I thought I would try tucking a piece of Rich Razzleberry satin ribbon under the lace I had left over from the Artisan Embellishments Kit. I roughed up the edges a little using my distressing tool. I like how it looks and the softness of the card.

Gorgeous cards. I really like how you used the framelits in the first card. I have that set & will try it. Love the Blooming With Kindness card, too as one I can do my own version of. I adore that set. So glad I got it early! All of these cards are lovely.
